If you are worried about your inability to lose weight despite dieting and exercise, one way could be Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. It is a bariatric procedure in which the surgeon removes approximately 85% of the stomach, by reshaping the remaining part of the stomach into a tube or sleeve.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 25 percent of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach. The remaining stomach is stapled (with surgical staples) to form a sleeve, or tube, with a banana shape.

The procedure of gastric sleeve permanently reduces the size of the stomach. The procedure is performed laparoscopically and is not reversible, but can be converted to other procedures. It is a safe procedure and quite affordable too.

Like any surgical operation, sleeve gastrectomy has possible complications, such as leakage, dilation of the sleeve and other usual complications associated with bariatric surgery. However, visit to a well-known surgeon will minimise the risks.

The failure to lose weight is significantly less with gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery. Granted, after the weight comes off, its up to the patient to keep it off.For a surgeon that is trying to help, its difficult to identify patients that are truly dedicated to implementing exercise and healthy, nutrient dense foods into their diet.

Super Obese individuals (people with a Body Mass Index over 45) have an increased risk during any surgery. And the longer the time under anesthesia, the greater the risk. Gastric bypass surgery can last over 2 hours. Duodenal switch surgery often takes over 4 hours. Thats a long time to be under anesthesia.

The gastric sleeve procedure is applicable for people who are at high medical risk for bypass procedures, have a high body mass index, or have complex medical history. This will help to lose your body weight to a considerable amount.
